Ginger:

While I agree that the whole bird thing wasn't very nice, I have to 
disagree with what people seem to be seeing as the motivation.  From 
what I have read here and from other posts, it seems the people are 
assuming that Hermione was mad (or jealous) at Ron because he was 
snogging Lavender.  

Hermione has been hurt for pages by Ron.  If you go back a few pages 
to where they were headed back to the Common Room after the match, 
Hermione tells Harry that she is sick of Ron and doesn't know why he 
has been treating her the way he has.  Harry knows it is because Ron 
is jealous that Hermione has kissed Krum, but doesn't know how to 
tell her that.  He even thinks to himself that he had hoped that if 
Ron won the match that they'd be friends again.  

After she sees Ron and Lavender doing a mutual tonsil-check, she 
leaves the room.  It is only after they come in that she finally 
breaks and sics the birds on him. 

Ron is the jealous one here.  He is jealous of Hermione having had a 
relationship with Viktor.  His snogfest with Lavender is in 
retaliation.  Remember Ginny had pointed out that he was as 
inexperienced as a 12 year old when he caught her kissing Dean.  She 
pointed out that Hermione had kissed Krum, which was apparently a 
revelation to Ron.  It is after that point that he starts being rude 
to Hermione.  Hermione has no idea what is going on.  All she knows 
is that Ron is acting like a jerk and no one will tell her why.

The birds were a bit much, but I can see why she lost her patience.  

I do agree that Ron has every right to kiss whomever he wants.  He 
and Hermione have made each other no promises, but if he is going to 
be a free agent, he needs to realize that she was one when she was 
with Krum.  Seems to me like a good snogging was what Ron needed.

Now maybe they can get on with saving the world.

Ginger, who has never shown bad judgement when overcome by jealousy.  
Yeah, right.  I've also never made a mistake when tpying;)
